The Final Summit by Andy Andrews

Andy Andrews is one of my Top 3 authors! I read everything he writes! I cannot get through his books fast enough & find myself re-reading them...they are chock full of wisdom & insights that stay on my mind long after the books have been finished...my idea of an amazing book & a gifted author. I have many quotes from his books pinned to my bulletin boards and written in my journals, plus I have the 7 Principles listed in my planner in my purse & on my bulletin board at the office. How many books/authors have inspired you that way lately??
After having read The Traveler's Gift, I could not wait to read its long-anticipated sequel The Final Summit. Here we find David Ponder a much older man who, in a time of great need, receives a visit from the angel Gabriel. I am not going to give away much of the story because I hate reviews that do that (there are plenty others you can read that go in to great detail if that's what you're looking for), but there are tons of historical figures who appear in this book offering their own style of wisdom & perspective. I say carve out some time for both books because they need to be read in order for you to fully appreciate them. Andy Andrews is an author who is writing material that is actively calling you to look inside yourself & be the person of high integrity that FEW people in this world are today, simple because it's easier to say one thing & do another. Read his books, look inside yourself, have a deep conversation with Jesus, & find out that who you've been isn't who you have to be. We can live out lives of great character.

Breathing :. Praising

Breathing :. Praising

I love the    :.

This little symbol should actually be a triangle of dots (but I don"t know how to do that on here! haha).  Such a BIG meaning for such a small symbol.  It means "therefore."  I use it in my title because I believe that my God gives me each breath I take...therefore...He is worthy of my praise!  Always!  He's not worthy just because He gives me life...He gave His life for me!  This little symbol reminds me of how much I depend on Him for even the smallest, yet most important, aspect of my life...breath! 

I'm starting the blogging journey today just as a means of putting my random thoughts, praises, concerns, etc. into the world.  I don't have any fantastical dreams of becoming the next top blog, but I do hope that for anyone who reads this blog that you are stirred to action in your own life.  Thank you for taking the time to read and share in my life.

Praise Him
